Its official. I hosted my first Christmas Party and thus have formally transitioned into the life of a real woman (LOL). For many that doesn't seem like a big deal. For me, this is absolutely a great deal. Let me explain something about me, I am not the best hostess. Unlike Sis Sabrina, who can read your needs better than you, I am one of those people whom you tell what you need done and I will execute. That is probably why I am a project manager and not a project developer.
It was a blast to host a party. I had no idea how much work goes into events of this size, but my adrenaline what rushing the entire time and I never once sat down. I didn't even eat the wonderful food that was brought.
One thing for sure, I would do it again in a heartbeat. The looks of happiness. Knowing that others who usually host our events were able to rest. The full bellies that were being rubbed and children running around like they lost their heads. It was all wonderful to me. It was fantastic!
Thanks to all for allowing me to open my home and use it for God's good. Nothing gives me such satisfaction as doing God's work. We had 25 guest at this party. Who knows how many were impacted by something so simple as opening a door to a home. Or how many were impacted by the fellowship that took place right in my driveway or over a warm plate of food that was supplied by the members of this church. Or during the games played and ran by the members of this church.
This party was a collective effort and a collective success. We did it. I loved it and am thankful for it.
This was my first but definitely not my last.

Philana, it was GRERAT! Thanks for stepping up to the challenge and hosting it there at your house. BTW on you "first but not last" comment, Hhm lets talk about doing another one next year. :-)
You did a FANTASTIC job! I am looking forward to many more wonderful events hosted by YOU. I admire your willingness to get involved. You are always ready to do something for God, and we appreciate everything you! We love you and are praying for you!
A one year advance notice is definately doable. =) Plus I think this party released a creative beast in me because I have so much more I would like to do with the next one.
